Ford All Other Models Touch Up Paint (831 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Ford didn't just paint cars; they curated a massive library of 831 distinct colors for their "all other models" lineup. They really went for it with the naming, giving us everything from the iconic Grabber Blue and Oxford White to the surprisingly cheeky Thanks A Vermillion Irid and Anti-Establishment Mint. Whether you're driving something in Harvest Gold Metallic or the bold Mandarin Copper Metallic, your Ford was clearly born during a time when the design team had a lot of creative freedom (and perhaps a very colorful coffee budget).

What to Watch For

Before you crack open your touch-up bottle, you need to find your "EXT PNT" code. You'll find this on a sticker inside the driver's side door jamb-look for a two-character code right above or next to those words. While Ford paint is generally sturdy, keep a close eye on your hood and roof. If you have a newer model with an aluminum hood, you might notice small bubbles forming at the very front edge. For older Fords from the early 2000s, the clear coat can sometimes get "tired" and start to flake away on the roof or tailgate. Don't worry, though; catching these spots early with a quick touch-up is a great way to keep the metal protected and the car looking sharp.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many of these Ford colors are "Pearl Metallic" or "Tri-coat" (like the beautiful Laser Red), the sparkles like to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Shake that paint for a full 60 seconds-longer than you think you need to-to wake up those metallic flakes. When you're applying it to a chip, remember: three thin layers are always better than one big, gloopy drop. If you're working on a vertical edge like a door or hatch, use a "dab" motion rather than a "swipe" to keep the paint from running while it dries. It requires a bit of patience, but the result is a repair that stays put.
